Exegesis
The adverb euthymōs {εὐθύμως | eu-thy-mōs} modifies apologoumai {ἀπολογοῦμαι | a-po-lo-gou-mai}, indicating Paul’s confident disposition as he presents ta peri emautou {τὰ περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ | ta pe-ri e-mau-tou}, “the matters concerning myself,” in his formal defense.
In context — Acts 24:10
And Paul, after the governor had signaled to him to speak, answered, “Since I understand that you have served as a judge over this nation for many years, I respond for myself all the more readily.”
